November 4

Just a quick update

Been writing. Been a little sleep deprived. DH is on vacation so my regular schedule is off. Also Mini came down with an allergic reaction to something (the doctor believes it is just a reaction to the sudden cold. It’s the weirdest thing, when she gets cold she breaks out into hives real bad. She gets warm and it goes away.) which meant I spent Wednesday babying her (and sitting in a doctor’s office).

I’ve been working on Deepdale Acres #3, Pleasure Horse. The lead is an experienced rider who is trying to become a professional show jumper. I’ve been watching a lot of youtube videos of show jumping which is one of my favorite sports to watch (next to cross country). I’m over 9k and the heroine doesn’t even realize she’s in a romance book because she’s a bit (ha!) of a perfectionist and pretty focused on her riding. I don’t think she’s a jump-into-bed-type, which makes writing her into an erotic romance a bit more challenging.

Also during our nightly reads (which I need to do a blog on) I’ve been re-reading ElfQuest because I discovered it’s available for free in its entirety online. Part of it I think are terribly cheesy, but I enjoy reading it and look forward to reading more.

Also, I had a job interview that went well. Funny thing is, I didn’t apply for this job. I applied at a store and company associated with another store within the chain found my app and called me. I really hope it works out.

I wish I had more for you, but it’s really just head-down-getting-work-done lately. Hope all you NANOing are hitting your goals. Remember DON’T compare yourself to other people. Make goals that are right for you and only judge your progress by your goals, not theirs. You’ll drive yourself nuts otherwise. (Coming from experience.)
